    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

Helping students from rural Mexico feel comfortable in your classroom - Connecting with... - 1 views

shared by meineckee on 30 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • Children from rural Mexico may frequently feel uncomfortable in the American classroom environment. For starters, students may have grown up playing only with their siblings and cousins.
  • if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
  • the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

  • While parents in rural Mexico place a very high value on education and learning English, mothers bring the cultural understanding that schooling is the responsibility of the teacher and the school rather than the parents. They often do not realize that most children entering kindergarten already know their ABCs, the colors and the numbers. A mother from rural Mexico might expect that her son or daughter would learn all of these things in school.
  • some new immigrant parents may work long hours, may be unable to read, or may fill the house with things other than books or school supplies.
  • she may not understand that teachers’ requests to bring in supplies are to be followed, that classroom open-houses are normally attended by parents, or that homework frequently comes before family time in many American households.
  • Without authentic caring relationships with educators, students may feel disillusioned with their schooling experience and struggle to do well in school
  • To show respect to a teacher, a student may refrain from acting silly or boisterous, may not call out, or may not ask a question if they feel like they would be bothering their teacher.
  • may feel uncomfortable performing in front of the class or displaying information upon request.
  • but would be very willing to share in a small group setting.
  • Assign small group work in class to create a less intimidating environment for a new student. Avoid asking a new student to display their knowledge in front of the class until that behavior seems more familiar. Allow the student to be bicultural! Treat his or her language and ethnicity as assets rather than hurdles to overcome.

    This article describes US culture seen through the eyes of an immaginary visitor to the country, as portrayed in US pop television programming. I am planning to discuss this with my students, and I thought I might piece together a youtube as "pre-reading" with some of the programming quoted in the article, if available.

  • Our habit of perceiving the world as best suits our interests often blinds us to others' perceptions and impairs our ability to work with them to resolve conflicts peacefully.
  • Designing a course that listens to "other voices" of history and the present day and employs empathy allows students to come to a better understanding of history and current events. This approach will develop an appreciation for the complexities of history and social affairs. Upon learning these complexities students will be more engaged in analyzing the perceptions, stances, and experiences of the many related peoples of history and the present world.

    The 21st-century child will be greatly influenced by events thousands of miles away because they have an immediate impact. Less than 80 years ago no one owned a TV and few people travelled more than 50 miles from the town in which they were born.

    The article focuses on the spontaneity of using youtube in the classroom and the idea of finding specific videos and the importance of a visual aid in learning. As opposed to showing one long film, Youtube enhances our ability for that 'teachable moment' or specific idea that you want to get across to students.

  • Learning becomes less about pounding facts into individual students' brains and more about how to think collaboratively and critically. To be effective, collaborative learning requires mutual respect among all the players involved, a willingness to listen to others' perspectives, being open to criticism and a desire to share knowledge, and being responsible for and accountable to the group as a whole.

    This article really drove home the idea again for changing our education system to adapt to the times. The factory system connection and the way different ideologies influenced our teaching is very powerful. We need to be setting critical thinking skills at the forefront of our objectives. We are looking for students to continue their life with a thirst of finding out more.

Heidi Bellon liked it
  • The multi-cultural setting of international education lends itself to a more natural development of global citizenship
  • The second tool that can be used to advance these ideals is through the use of digital technology. For years, sites have offered classrooms the opportunity to link up with other classrooms in order to learn about each other’s cultures and countries, but the current trend is to take these partnerships beyond the traditional “what is life like in your country?” model.
  • Carl Spilles on 08 Apr 14
     
    I found this article highly connected to our topic about global empathy. After years of working in international schools, the setting is a great model I wish more people could experience. At a school with over 50 nationalities, students can't help but feel empathy when one of their classmates is effected by events back in their home country. The article also addresses the topic of digital technology to enhance the interenational school experience.

  • Look for videos of under 10 minutes in length. There are uploads of entire documentaries, movies, shows, etc. but you probably can’t devote one or more classes entirely to that source.
  • Try to find videos that do more than replace your talking head with another. The idea is to change the class pace, not replicate it.

  • Those who already use PowerPoint in classes can simply copy the URL of the clip selected, paste it into a slide, hit the space bar, and the link becomes "live."
  • As in the example above, take a few moments to ask for student feedback on what they saw.
  • A good listening exercise is to ask students to jot down the three major points or details they see in the video.
  • This generation of undergraduates grew up with video, but it’s no longer dazzled by it. It sees video as a ubiquitous vehicle in which information is communicated,
  • Third, don’t make the URL public unless your video is good enough to not add to the YouTube clutter, and it won’t get you into trouble. You need to own rights to any images you use before going public, but you can use most things for educational purposes as long as you don’t distribute them.
